Bungalow was really nice-located - in the middle of beautiful jungle-like garden. Made of bamboo and wood, with very nice climat. Nice and clean, very close to nature. Great place to relax yourself and forget about the rest of the world (of course, if you are not a five-star hotel person :)) Owners were very helpful, they covered the costs of sending a long boat for us to a ferry, also helped us with a transport to a local one when we were leaving. Hope to get back there one day :-)

Marly and her family made us feel very welcome from the moment that we arrived. She is very sweet and friendly. The accommodation is very clean and set back off the road in gardens that she has created. There are lots of jungle noises, but this only adds to the charm! She cooks her food in the restaurant with love and care.

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

It was a bit of a walk to the beach, 10 min maybe. There are a lot of roosters in the area and a mosque across the street, so if you are a light sleeper not the best place to stay. If you enjoy listening the sounds nature, you can hear them well here.

On the third day, there were mice in my bungalow, but I was able to move to another bungalow. Hopefully, this will get under control soon.
It would have been nice if filtered water was offered so guests can refill their bottles. Trash is becoming a problem on the island

Malee tried her best to make me feel comfortable. The bungalows are basic but spacious. The in-house restaurant is good, although a bit more expensive than the others in town.

When it rained heavily the path was a bit muddy.

Such a great place to stay, a gorgeous, well designed, super clean bungalow tucked away in a beautiful, peaceful garden. Malee, the owner, is a lovely person, and the food in the restaurant, cooked by her husband, is seriously great. We loved staying there among the flowers, birds, butterflies and frogs. There's a lovely beach 10 minutes walk away.

Nothing - the wildlife were very loud at night but this has nothing to do with Ban Ban!!! What do you expect from such a remote island this is part of the experience! Be aware, if you're visiting in low season majority of the island's attractions are shut.

The bungalow is built well, comfy bed, nice porch for relaxing in the beautiful garden. The food at the restaurant is 10/10! They also do bike hire which is helpful. The hosts are the most welcoming and kind people you will meet in Thailand.

Its not the host fault, but you have to be aware that this part of island is muslim, and you cant find any alcohol in shops or restaurants. But theres a shop where you can get by foot, which has it. ;)

The bungalow is near to very nice beach (2 minutes). Also you can walk from the beach to other ones. The host is really really nice, friendly and most important helpfull. She arranged us taxi both ways. Unfortunetly, we were in low season so we tried the restaurant food only twice, but it was great. Especially pizza, which we promised to ourself not to eat in Thailand ;) Although you can find different good restaurants nearby. The bungalows are clean and comfy.

Malee, the owner, is one of the sweetest and very helpfull people I have ever met during our almost 2 month travel in Thailand. If you send her a message, she will pick you up at the pier. I will never forget this stay. It was really great. Besides that, they have beautiful, spacious bungalows with settings in a beautiful exotic garden. Only 5 mins walking to a quiet and nice beach. The food in the restaurant is really delicious. You can rent motorbike. I really recommend this place.

We got a welcome Drink and enjoyed the best Food ever. They also serve very delicious baked goods. We Rent a bicycle at the minimarket next to the Restaurant. The Beach is a nice 5min. Walk away from the accomodation. The Bungalows are very clean and it was no Problem to have no air condition.
